echinopsis posted:i dont even know what the aprts are called. the wall plugs for network cables? yeah it's pricy from local retailers, I paid $16 each for my cat6 floor jacks, maybe mono price is cheaper? the only tools you need are a wire stripper and a hole punch to do the jacks. it's super easy and it owns my setup is modem -> wireless router -> cat6 to wall -> living room -> cat6 wall -> switch port on wireless router with same ssid but different channel and dhcp turned off

theyre called keystone jacks. you attach the wire to them with a punch down tool, like this one to install it cleanly in the drywall get one of these plastic "mud ring" things  and install a plate and keystone jack   wire it the same on both ends. in the US its "B" on both ends; in yerp i think they use "A". nfc what the usual thing in NZ is. it doesnt matter

hmm ok... that one i linked for $40 came with tools pparently. maybe just easy to get that and be done. or idkahmeni posted:same ssid but different channel and dhcp turned off can you explain this? so you set the channels to be different? to avoid interferance? but the devices connecting to it dont care? currently they are set to auto channel but i only have one wireless hotspot which is my modem too dhcp? isnt that the thing that assigns ip addresses? why turn that off?

Usagi-Sauce posted:ohh that sounds like it could work pretty nicely! I've been scratching my chin over similar approaches involving rendering three skewed-projection-matrix buffers aligned so that each triangle is half a parallelogram-pixel from each of them and doing some loving wizard poo poo to work out what value the triangle "should" have based on that, but that sounds like a much more direct approach you could do 8xMSAA and use 4 of the samples per triangle to get some AA. The standard D3D sample pattern for 8xMSAA partitions into two half-pixel triangles reasonably well, and everyone just implements the D3D sample patterns in hardware since D3D specifies a fixed pattern and OpenGL leaves it as "implementation defined". in GL you can query the array of sub-pixel sample offsets for an MSAA target to make sure you're picking the right indices when doing the reconstruction. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/Ff476218(v=VS.85).aspx i was also thinking you might be able to do supersampling by doubling the RT resolution and picking the relevant sets of samples from each 2x2 pixel area. if you diagram it out with the sampling pattern from 8xMSAA it looks like each triangle would be picking all 8 samples from one pixel (right-top or left-bottom), and 4 from each of the left-top and right-bottom pixels. 16 samples per triangle-pixel might be a little overkill, though. i think it would also work with the 4xMSAA sample pattern for 8 samples per triangle-pixel.

if your house is double brick, the easiest way I found to install ethernet (or any other wiring) is to drill a hole in the wall, take a tile off the roof, poke a conduit down the cavity until you reach the hole in the wall, then shove the ethernet down the conduit. leave the conduit in the wall, you'll need it eventually. lol if your house isn't double brick or if you have a tin roof.

if you use the built in terrain poo poo then yeah no you cant if you make you own terrian out of meshes or the new custom mesh then yeah you can but youre right about pre-calculating light. you cant procedurally create something then bake it. unfortuantely but dynamic lighting is getting better all the time with newer dynamic GI systems and disatnce ray something or rathe that i dont get

they make keystone inserts that are rj-45 couplers. that means you can use premade cables instead of punching down your own it might be worth it if you don't need a lot of runs
